Fremont City Schools board approves donations, contracts, personnel items and closes OFCC building project
Summary
The board approved donations, an interim superintendent contract amendment, a student-counseling contract, a consulting agreement, multiple personnel actions (including the resignation of Kelly Scribe) and the financial report; the treasurer reported financial closeout of a $107,000,000 OFCC building project and the board then moved to executive session.
The Fremont City Schools Board approved a series of consent items and personnel actions during its regular meeting, and the treasurer announced financial completion of a major building project.
On the consent agenda the board approved item 1 (donations), item 2 (an amendment to the interim superintendent's contract), item 3 (a returning counseling-services contract), item 4 (a consulting agreement with an insurance consulting firm described as "digital insurance"), items 5–14 (personnel hires and supplemental contracts including the resignation of Kelly Scribe, who had been employed since 2004), and item 15 (status changes for staff from Stephanie Hastings through Sofia Ratliff). Motions were moved and seconded as recorded in the meeting and each item passed on roll-call votes with the recorded board members voting yes.
Treasurer remarks: the treasurer reported receipt of a certificate of completion from the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (OFCC) for the district's school building project, which the treasurer stated had a total project cost of $107,000,000. The treasurer said the funding split was approximately 49% state and 51% local and that interest earnings on project funds will be allocated either to the district's 034 building account or to PI funds; a transfer resolution will be prepared for board direction. The treasurer also highlighted timing effects on general-fund real-estate collections and noted increases in salary and benefits tied to scheduled raises.
Board procedure and next steps: board members offered several brief communications of appreciation to staff and volunteers. The presiding officer moved the board into executive session under the stated agenda item; the motion was seconded and passed on roll call. The chair told the public there would be no board action after executive session and the public meeting would adjourn immediately following the closed session.
